SONY'S PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One have both received an intriguing new games announcement this week which is a free to download on both consoles, has existing PS4 Pro support and Xbox Scorpio in the future.

Battleborn on PS4, Xbox One and PC

A tremendous band of heroes fight to protect the universe's very last star from a mysterious evil in this next-gen shooter by the creators of Borderlands.

Battleborn's team-based competitive multiplayer action can be experienced by up to 10 players online in 5v5 matches, and includes three distinct multiplayer modes.

Players can now pick up Battleborn as a free downloadable experience that boasts unlimited access to all competitive multiplayer gameplay modes and maps, without any time limits or level caps.

Sounds a lot like a free-to-play switch, with a weekly rotation of six heroes from the roster of 30 total heroes being made available.

“Progress with each hero and player account progression is also permanent, so when the same character comes back around players can pick them up where they left off,” a message from the Battleborn team explains.

To download the Battleborn Free Trial, head to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Steam store page and search for Battleborn. Each page has a “Try Now” button to download the Free Trial.

The Free Trial is now available globally on Steam and Xbox One, and is available in the Americas on PS4. For Sony Europe and Sony Japan, the Free Trial will be available starting June 13, 2017.

For those who want to unlock the full list of characters and story mode missions, you’ll need to upgrade your version of Battleborn, meaning access to the full base game.

This includes unlocking all 25 base characters, all eight Story Mode missions and the Prologue, and permanent access to private matches.

Sun, May 28, 2017

Crossout is a post-apocalyptic MMO Action game where players craft unique battle machines from dozens of interchangeable parts, ride them into combat and destroy enemies in explosive PvP online battles!

Crossout is a post-apocalyptic MMO-action game from developers Targem Games, which has just reached the open beta stage.

The game has been available to play on PC for quite sometime but has only just reached console, offering up a range of PvP and PvE game modes.

Here’s a few of the latest improvements to the game:

9 new post-apocalyptic locations: Abandoned cities, deceptively lifeless deserts, highways full of dangers, fortified survivor settlements and other regions of the world that survived the catastrophe.

7 new game modes: Survivors protect trade convoys from raiders, rob warehouses and destroy oil rigs or try to defeat Leviathans, huge steel monsters created by other players. In between the ruthless battles raging across the world, you can now catch your breath in ‘Race’ mode, where vehicles have no weapons, where only speed matters.

New components and weapons: A flamethrower for immolating your enemies, a precise and ruthless pulse accelerator, a powerful armour-piercing crossbow and other novelties.

The development recently confirmed that testing on PS4 Pro is currently underway at 4K support, while they’re waiting on a devkit to start working on a Xbox Scorpio version.
